TGJTA Launches Thailand Gems & Jewelry Fair 2022, Aiming to Push Thailand As Top Sourcing Destination Among Global Traders

The Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA) is launching “Thailand Gems & Jewelry Fair 2022” on September 1–4, 2022 at 7th floor, ICONSIAM. It is the first gems and jewelry trade fair to be held in 2022 to provide entrepreneurs with opportunities to grow their gems and jewelry business domestically and internationally. The event also aims to stabilize the future of Thailand’s gems and jewelry industry as well as optimizing the country’s soft power as craftsmanship is fundamentally an inherent profession and unique identity of Thais. The Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association expects Thailand to be one of the world’s top sourcing destinations among global gems and jewelry traders thanks to the potential of Thais and existing ecosystem.

Ms. Porntiva Niparin, president of the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association, said “The Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association has around 2,000 member companies. It is the most established association with the largest number of juristic person members in ASEAN. The association originated from collaboration between relevant stakeholders in the industry, including traders, entrepreneurs, jewelry makers and gem artisans, totaling around one million people. They have shared commitment and determination to achieve exponential growth in gems and jewelry businesses throughout the supply chain over the past 60 years. The association gives priority to localizing business strategies and development adjustments to align with evolving technologies. We set an ambitious target to move forward Thailand to become the most advocated sourcing destination in the global gems and jewelry industry so that Thailand will become the top-of-mind, preferred gems and jewelry sourcing destination in terms of both investment, manufacturing hub, gems and jewelry business opportunity marketplace. This year’s event, visitors and participants will meet a host of international gems and jewelry manufacturers and gemstones suppliers and a wide range of premium gems and jewelry products that are created to meet diverse individual preferences such as colorstones or colored gemstones, diamonds, gold and silver ornaments for wedding, auspicious occasions, daily wear or even for investment. The event also features handicrafting and gemstone machinery and jewelry making tools as well as a variety of packaging for a comprehensive ecosystem in manufacturing, sales and distribution of gems and jewelry products. All gems and jewelry manufacturers who exhibit their products at the event are certified by the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association, so customers are assured to enjoy spending on quality gems and jewelry products with confidence.”

Thailand Gems & Jewelry Fair 2022 is the first gems and jewelry trade fair of the year. It will be carried out in a hybrid show format through the use of modern technology to enhance an immersive experience in the traditional trade fair. The conventional trade fair is still maintained because a quality appraisal and analysis needs to see the actual gems and jewelry products before making a business deal. The advantage of modern technology will serve as a bridge to connect manufacturers with traders and investors as it is a key factor to create an integrated Omni Channel to achieve a goal of sourcing destination development. It is also an ambition of the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association to create a more secure future for Thailand as Thais can sustainably grow their intrinsically indigeous profession as Thailand still has the potential and existing ecosystem for further development. There are two main target customer groups: Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Customer (B2C). In addition, the event is in collaboration with organizations in the public and private sectors including the Gems Jewelry and Precious Metal Confederation of Thailand (GJPCT), the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Royal Thai Police and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

In addition, there are special sub-events and activities to promote facilities and infrastructure development in the gems and jewelry industry as well as an activity to promote the use of reference values of diamonds in order to standardize and expand the domestic diamond market. Visitors to the event will receive a precious birthstone in order to create an impression among visitors for having a colored gemstone meticulously produced by an intricate Thai craftsmanship as Thais are the world’s top gemstone manufacturer. All visitors also stand a chance to win two-tier prizes giveaway. First, visitors who make an advance registration will receive a birthstone and are eligible for participating in activities held at the event. Second, visitors are entitled to win two diamond rings and an iPhone 14 model.

Thailand Gems & Jewelry Fair 2022 is scheduled for September 1–4, 2022 on 11.00 – 21.00 at 7th floor, ICONSIAM. The event is part of the future where all Thais can jointly build together. It is the sustainable future where Thais prosper with a potential industry using their own innovative craftsmanship.
